The Need for Kindness from Strangers

You can gain inspiration from any source. It doesn’t have to be a traditional “mindfulness” resource. I listen to comedian Adam Ferrara’s podcast – and this interview with Alan Zweibel had some nuggets. Alan was one of the original writers for Saturday Night Live. At the 46-minute mark, Alan talks about how even Stephen King feels insecure – and that we all need kindness from strangers.

Adam & Alan talk at that spot in the interview about Stephen King’s book – “On Writing” – and they share these two nuggets from it:

– “Art is not a substitute for your life. You still have to live your life.”
– “Writing is refined thinking.”
